Top 10 Free Pregnancy iPhone Apps

Pregnant? And want to keep up with your baby’s development, your symptoms and more? There’s an app for that!

There are seriously apps for every walk of life. I’ve mentioned the best period tracker apps in a previous post that will help keep track of your menstrual cycles. For pregnant women, you have a huge array of paid and free apps to download on your iPhone or iPod touch. I’m a penny pincher, so I’m an advocate of free apps. You can even find free versions of paid apps – these typically have limited features, but they’re still pretty awesome. Free pregnancy apps are awesome and they are a wonderful way to keep track of your pregnancy.

While no iPhone app will make your pregnancy-related aches and pains go away, they do make keeping track of your pregnancy easier. In many cases, carrying around your iPhone or iPod touch is a heck of a lot easier than carrying a big ole pregnancy book. Pregnancy apps are awesome resources to help you survive your pregnancy. (There are also comparable Android pregnancy apps, but this article is mostly focused on free iPhone and iPad apps.)

An amazing new app “My baby’s beat” was released just a few days ago – it allows pregnant woman to hear their baby’s heart beat, just like fetal monitor!

The app is based on the iPhone microphone and requires no added hardware!

The interesting thing about it , is that the app recommends every time for you to switch for “AIRPLANE MODE” to shut down all communication and transmission from the iPhone , hence turning the iPhone into a very sensitive microphone , with no emit of any kind of radiation (normal fetal monitor always emits waves and any doctor will tell you not to over use them…)

If you're trying to conceive, pregnant, or a new mom, check out my recommended products for pregnancy and baby. I've hand-selected each of these products. They are the best of the best. Check it out at My Pregnancy and Baby Store.
